Psalmi 83

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!

A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.

For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.

They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

4 Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”

“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:

For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.

Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)

9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:

Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.

who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

11 K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”

who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.

My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!

so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!

Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.

17 Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!

Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.

that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
